Does preseason affect mmr the same as the normal season?, or less?, or not at all?
If I'm plat 5, and I tilted and my mmr is gold 5(True story fml), will a soft reset of my personal mmr be taken or the average mmr for the rank in general?

- Does preseason affect mmr the same as the normal season?, or less?, or not at all?
It does. MMR is soft reset at every start of the season. What this means is that a Master player doesn't suddenly get Silver 5 MMR when the new season starts. He'll still have "High" MMR compared to the average player, thus it being a soft reset.

If you end-up in Gold 5, during the pre-season, your MMR will be influenced at the start of the new one. For the sake of match-making, the MMR can't be stale while the new season doesn't begin, so it does increase/decrease with every game you win/lose.
There's one tiny little detail that I need to mention. Season 7 will have 2 separate ladders so there may be some adjustments there (maybe an Hard Reset).
Hard Resets are almost never a good idea, but with the introduction of 2 separate ladders it may work out. If that's the case, expect to have the hard reset done on the Solo/Duo queue ladder, since that's the one where "skill actually matters", thus having the same state like everyone else is more important
(I'm poking fun at people that argument against DQ).
